As soon as BJP released the first list of candidates for Haryana assembly elections, it seemed as if there was a ruckus in the party. After the first list of 67 candidates came out, there was a ruckus in the party. The leaders who were expecting a ticket from BJP have opened a front. After the first list, there is a queue of leaders leaving the Bharatiya Janata Party in Haryana. Cabinet ministers and many former MLAs are among those who left the party. The state president of BJP Kisan Morcha has also resigned from the party. This also includes the name of Haryana cabinet minister Chaudhary Ranjit Singh Chautala. He had expressed displeasure over not being given a ticket from Rania assembly. Not only this, Ranjit Chautala has increased the tension of BJP by announcing to contest the election as an independent.
So that's why BJP cut the tickets of MLAs and ministers
Not only Ranjit Chautala, many other veterans have decided to leave the BJP. This cannot be considered good news for the party just before the election battle. However, the way the BJP leadership has distributed tickets is believed to have special planning behind it. The party has distributed tickets in view of the party's performance in the Lok Sabha elections held in June this year. This is because this time in the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP was successful in capturing only 5 out of 10 seats in the state. The remaining 5 seats went to the account of Congress. Earlier in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had captured all the 10 seats here. Looking at the performance of the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the party does not want to leave any stone unturned. The anti-incumbency factor is also important behind this.

BJP's state in-charge told the 'inside story'
In view of the anti-party wave in the state, the BJP leadership is taking every step very cautiously. This is the reason why the party has kept the political equation in mind while distributing tickets. This was revealed by the party's state in-charge Biplab Deb himself. He said on Thursday that while preparing the list of candidates, full attention has been paid to social equations. Every society has been given representation. The former Chief Minister of Tripura said that there are a total of 90 assembly seats in Haryana. Our party is ready to wave the flag of victory on all these seats. 14 representatives of backward classes have been included in the first list. Candidates have been selected keeping in mind all the social equations.
Biplab Deb said- tickets of 9 sitting MLAs were cut
Biplab Deb said that we have also given place to people from Dalit community. We have taken special care that no person from any community is deprived. Every community should get a chance to play its role in politics. He also told that the party has also cut the tickets of nine current MLAs. These include ministers as well. We have taken this step keeping in mind the current political equations, so no one should take it personally.

Know why Haryana CM Saini's seat was changed?
BJP's goal in the 90-member Haryana Assembly elections is to score a hat-trick of victories. This is the reason why the party does not want to take any risk. In such a situation, the party took a shocking decision and changed the seat of state CM Naib Singh Saini. Saini was hoping that he would once again contest from Karnal seat. This seat was vacant after the resignation of Manohar Lal Khattar. Before the Lok Sabha elections, ML Khattar resigned from the post of CM. He was fielded in the Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, Naib Singh Saini was made the CM of the state. Not only this, due to his strong hold on Jatland, he was successful in registering victory from Karnal. However, now the party has fielded Saini from Ladwa. At the same time, BJP has given ticket to Jagmohan Anand from Karnal. He has also been the media advisor of former CM Manohar Lal Khattar.
Round of resignations continues in Haryana BJP
In the first list released by BJP for Haryana elections, tickets of many former MPs as well as leaders who left Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) and joined the party have been cut. At the same time, many big names of the party are also missing from the list of candidates. Hisar BJP District Vice President Tarun Jain broke ties with the party. Expressing displeasure over giving ticket to Kamal Gupta, he resigned from all the posts of the party. BJP Business Cell State Convenor Naveen Goyal said goodbye to the party. He was considered a strong contender for the ticket from Gurugram Assembly. However, the party has made Mukesh Sharma the candidate from Gurugram. Naveen Goyal has decided to contest the election as an independent from Gurugram.
Tension of BJP may increase due to resignations after resignations
BJP Kisan Morcha state president and former MLA Sukhwinder Mandhi's ticket from Badhra in Charkhi Dadri district was cut. In such a situation, his supporters took to the streets and expressed their anger. Sukhwinder Mandhi's supporters protested against the BJP after Umed Singh Patuwas was given the ticket from here. The list of those who resigned from the BJP includes Sunil Rao, Aditya Chautala, Savitri Jindal, former cabinet minister Kavita Jain from Sonipat. Laxman Napa resigned from the BJP after not getting a ticket from Ratia. He may join the Congress soon. The BJP has given a ticket to Sunita Duggal from Ratia. Haryana BJP OBC Morcha state president and former minister Karnadev Kamboj resigned from all posts after his ticket was cut from the Indri assembly seat.
